You do what you can do. That's the first thing. Is you don't believe every stupid thing. Turn off the news.
Feeling anxious lately? You're definitely not alone. The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, hosted by Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen, dives into the timely issue of pandemic-related anxiety and offers down-to-earth advice on managing those overwhelming feelings. The episode kicks off with a simple but powerful tip: turn off the news. In a world bombarded with constant updates, it's easy to feel swamped by negativity. The Amens remind us that not every piece of information is worth our mental energy.
The episode goes beyond just advice and dives into actionable strategies. They discuss the importance of controlling automatic negative thoughts, which can spiral out of control if left unchecked. From there, they offer a variety of methods to help calm your mind, such as regular exercise, bright light therapy, and positivity bias training. They also highlight the benefits of gratitude practice—an easy yet effective way to shift your focus from what's wrong to what's right.
One particularly interesting point is their discussion on Happy Saffron, a supplement from BrainMD designed to boost mood and reduce feelings of sadness. While supplements can be helpful, the hosts emphasize that they're just one piece of the puzzle. Throughout the episode, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen provide not just tips but also encouragement and support, making it clear that anyone struggling with anxiety is far from alone.
